The Man Is Gone

from Just The Three Of Us by GrooveLily

/

lyrics

In the beginning there was a man and a woman
Happy together, you made a vow for forever
And a day
Now ten years later, you can't remember the feeling
The sweet tender way you made love

CHORUS:
Baby, that ain't what love is about
Taking off and leaving you to figure it out
You don't owe him nothing, baby
You did him right all along
Now the man is gone

He used to wonder what you were thinking and dreaming
Now he won't listen, whether you're crying or screaming
Anyway
You try to tell him - still he just stares at the ceiling
He's so far away from making love
Making love

CHORUS

It's all right, you say
We'll be fine, you say
We always carry on
But there's a warm body lying there beside you every night
And the man inside is gone - he's gone, gone, gone

Come on darlin', it's time to run but you're kneeling
Day after day
Making time
Making do
And that's not making love...

CHORUS
